I fully support pumpkin spice lattes--do not get me wrong. What I do not support is how once September first hits, everything under the sun suddenly turns into pumpkin, candles, coffee, and candy. While pumpkin is pretty fantastic, there are so many other Fall things we seem to forget. So just in case you are not aware, here are some things that can compete with pumpkin spice.
1. Apple Cider
Seriously, how can you forget apple cider? Hot or cold, it is perfect for a Fall day.
2. Pumpkin Patches
Yes, I said pumpkin, but you should totally go see where the pumpkin spice lattes get their pumpkin flavor. Plus, the pumpkin patch makes for super cute insta photos with your friends or partner.
3. Corn Mazes
Getting lost in a corn maze can make for a giant game of Marco Polo with your squad.
4. Haunted Houses
While I am not a huge fan of haunted houses, they are rather cheap and can make for a great night out after a few drinks.
5. Going Apple Picking
Hello, picking your own apples. I have a great apple pie recipe you could make.
6. Hay Rides
Once again, they are super cheap and another place for super cute pictures.
7. Cool Weather
You will not be sweating on the walk to class. Instead the air will be crisp and smell like fall.
8. Having a Bonfire
Who does not love sitting around the fire with friends roasting marshmallows?
9. S'MORES
Okay, it is in the name--s'mores make you want more.
10. Dressing up for Halloween
Costumes can be thrown together with things you have laying around your house. Pass out candy or just walk around your neighborhood!
PSLs are undeniably amazing, but there is more to Fall than pumpkin. Please enjoy those other amazing alternatives!
